Thousands of British Tamils commemorate Maaveerar Naal in London

Thousands of British Tamils have gathered in London to commemorate Maaveerar Naal, the Tamil day of remembrance.

Taking place at the Wembley Arena in London, thousands of Tamils queued for hours to pay respects and lay flowers before photos of those who gave their lives in the Tamil struggle for liberation.

With queues stretching outside the arena for hours, thousands staged their own service outside the venue, as people continued to join. With the venue at capacity, thousands stood in silence and bowed their heads, whilst some held the gloriosa lily aloft, in remembrance of those who have passed.
